Thursday night around 7:40 P.M., the Kent County Sheriff's Office responded to a serious injury car accident near E Fulton Street and Cascade Road in Grand Rapids Township. 

The preliminary investigation revealed a black Ford Escape, driven by a 56-year-old female from Kentwood, was traveling west on E Fulton Street. It is believed the Escape crossed the center line into the eastbound lanes and collided with a blue Honda Civic, driven by a 94-year-old man from Grand Rapids Township.

Both drivers suffered serious injuries and were transported to an area hospital. The female later succumbed to her injuries. Alcohol is believed to be a factor. 

This incident remains under investigation by the Kent County Sheriff's Office Traffic and Safety Unit.
